SEN~TI~NEL:
A person or sentry set to guard others, to watch over others, to
protect others and to warn others of danger.

OUR SYMBOL

Our purpose is
symbolized by the Bald Eagle. The Bald Eagle is the symbol of
our great nation's strength and freedom. Uniquely, the eagle can
also be a great sentinel. It can "see" far and wide while it
soars high above us. From there it can watch over all of us
and send warnings to all it seeks to protect.

OUR MISSION

This newspaper’s
main objective is to be the sentry for our fellow citizens and
patriots, providing truth, awareness and alerts to dangers while
protecting our God-given freedoms and our constitutional rights and
liberties.

OUR PLEDGE

The Mountain
Publishing Company, Inc. will work tirelessly to consistently
serve, inform and protect the good citizens of this rural and
beautiful high country region of Southern Colorado, nestled along
the magnificent Sangre de Cristo mountains. We will be guided
by the principles of the Declaration of Independence, the U.S.
Constitution, the Bill of Rights and the clear intent of our
founding fathers. We acknowledge that our basic rights and
freedoms are granted by God, not by any elected representatives,
and are codified in the documents above. We can expect God’s
blessings on this country only if we live by and honor our
Christian-Judeo heritage and values and respect the principles and
laws our founders established and which are passed down for all
generations to maintain.

OUR CREED

We believe that
freedom is a gift from God and not granted to us by politicians or
governments. Freedom demands responsible behavior of all citizens
and must be consistent with the truths expressed in the great moral
and governing guides as The Ten Commandments, The Declaration of
Independence, The U.S. Constitution, and The Bill of
Rights.

These were the
principles that guided our founding fathers and which we believe
are still relevant. These are the principles that will guide our
reporting and be the basis of all our views.

We will not be
constrained by the illogical, misleading and inaccurate thinking
and use of "political correctness" but by truth, facts, logic and
common sense.
